TAX PLANNING ~ Equity Gains and Losses
Simple Pointers
Financial Year 2021-22 will close out under a fortnight from now on March 31,2022 .Tax Planning can help in reducing Tax Liability on Equity Gains by taking advantage of the exemptions and set-offs available under Income Tax .Remember to file Income Tax Returns on Time to be able to carry forward any Equity loss .Remember too that one is not allowed to set off any loss under the head ‘Capital Gains’ against income from any other heads .Such Loss can only be set-off within ‘Capital Gains’ head
Here are a few simple pointers in tabular format
Long-Term | Short-Term | Speculative | |
Definition | > One Year Holding | < One Year Holding | Derivatives, Intra-day Trading |
Tax Rate % | 10 | 15 | Normal Slab |
Exemption | Gains up to Rs One Lakh | None | None |
Set offs | Long-Term Loss is allowed to be set-off only against Long Term Gains | Short Term Loss can be set-off against both Long-Term and Short-Term Gains | Loss can be netted from gains in only similar Trading Operations |
Loss Carry Forward allowed | Up to Eight Years succeeding the Year in which Loss Incurred | Up to Eight Years succeeding the Year in which Loss Incurred |
Some Action that can be considered to take advantage of Income Tax Allowances :
- Book Long-Term Gains of Rs One Lakh which is the Exemption Limit and reinvest
- If Long-Term Gains exceed Rs One Lakh, look for booking any Long-Term Loss to use as set-off. One can similarly book some short-term losses too to use to set-off long-term and short-term gains to reduce tax liability in the year. .One can buy-back the holdings the next day
- One can book gains to be set off against carry forward loss anytime within the eight years such loss is allowed to be carried forward
